Important

The directions as contained herein assume that you are using a Microsoft operating system and not Linux or a Mac-based operating system. Even said, there may be slight variations in your process based on the specific version of the operation system that you are using as well as the predefined user preference for each computer. The below listed steps are to serve as a guideline and may have to be slightly modified based on the specific operating system and preference as on your personal computer.

TIPS:
Recommended distance from target area is 25-30 feet for optimal imaging quality.
To improve the quality of your images, try not to mount the unit facing the rising or the setting sun in order to avoid direct sunlight into the camera lens.
If mounting to a feeder unit or dusty environment, be sure to clean the camera lens cover, incandescent flash cover, and the PIR sensor cover on a regular basis.

Periodically check the mounting of the camera to insure it is not loose.

Make sure that you securely latch the door closed each and every time you use the unit, as the moisture seal will not be activated unless closed properly.

Check batteries frequently to insure no corrosive build-up, as this may cause harm to the camera.

Retreiving Images (SD Card Reader)

Method 1: Remove SD card and use card reader
A. First, remove the SD Card from the cam-era unit itself by pressing on it to where it automatically ejects.
B. Next, insert the SD card into your SD card reader.

C. Once inserted into your computer it may automatically launch “AutoPlay”, a window recognizing a new Secure Digital Storage Device (the SD Card).
D. If so, it should list several options for the next steps (not limited to the following):

1. Picture Options
a. Import pictures
b. View pictures
c. Copy Disc
d. Transfer pictures
2. General Options
a. Open folder to view files

E. Select the method from the list provided that best suits your requirements. If the se-lection is made to “View pictures”, you can then view the images located on the SD Card and manipulate them as needed.

F. If your computer does not automatically launch the AutoPlay window recognizing the Removable Disk (the SD Card), then you will need to go to the “Start Menu” at the bottom left of your screen and select “Computer”. The summary view will then be illustrated on the right hand side of the window where by the “Devices with Removable Storage” will be listed. The computer will recognize the reader as “Secure Digital Storage Device”. Please select “Secure Digital Storage Device” from this menu (or double click on the graphical icon).
G. This will then direct you into the SD Card file folder. Images are in the MEDIA folder.
H. Once open, you will then see all of the photo files that are located on the SD Card. Select each image individually to view. The default viewing browser for your computer will then automatically launch.

I. Repeat for viewing all or other photos.

Format SD Card

SDXC cards are not supported.

Having trouble with your SD card? Try this.
1. Connect the SD card to your computer. If your computer has an SD card slot you can insert the SD card directly into the port.

NOTE: If you are using a MicroSD card, you will need an adapter to allow it to fit into standard SD card ports. If your computer does not have an SD card port built-in, you can use an external USB card reader that plugs into any USB port on your computer.
